Redacted domain dossier, minus the house style
We are far too editorially nervous to tell you whether the upstream publisher is correct. We can, however, preserve the dossier, keep the indicators readable, and route every external exit through the source gate.
VirusTotal flagged this domain with 12 out of 95 security vendors, indicating a strong consensus on its malicious nature. It was resolved to IP address 31.97.106.101 and used a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, type E7, to appear trustworthy. The domain was registered through [REDACTED] on April 18, 2026, a relatively recent date that aligns with its malicious use. AlienVault OTX included it in one threat intelligence pulse, and it appeared on one security blocklist. Its current status is offline, which reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the possibility of future possibly phishing campaigns under similar names.
Users who encountered tether[.]forum should change passwords for any accounts they may have used on the site and enable two-factor authentication where available. It is also advisable to run a full antivirus scan to check for any malware. Report the domain to your email provider or security team to help block future threats.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
An estimated $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 (source). If you interacted with tether.forum — act now.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
- Revoke token approvals — use revoke.cash to remove access granted to malicious smart contracts
- Move remaining funds to a brand-new wallet. The compromised wallet is no longer safe
- Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
- Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
- Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the possibly phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
According to the FBI, the most important details are transaction data:
- Cryptocurrency addresses — scammer's wallet (e.g.,
0x5856...35985) - Amount & crypto type — exact amount (e.g., 1.02345 ETH, 0.5 BTC, 500 USDT)
- Transaction ID (hash) — the unique blockchain transaction identifier
- Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
- Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
- All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including
tether.forum) - Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
- FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
- Europol — European cybercrime reporting (EU)
- Chainabuse — flag scam wallets across exchanges & platforms
- Your crypto exchange — contact NASDAQ:COIN/LEI:5493004F7TI6QBM4WX72/FinCEN MSB #31000023456789 support to freeze scammer's address
- Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
The FBI recovered over $1 billion in crypto fraud in 2024 thanks to victim reports. Your report matters.
How do crypto scams typically work?
- Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
- Malicious approvals — "connect wallet" prompts that grant unlimited token spending to attackers
- Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via [REDACTED]/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
- Recovery scams — victims targeted AGAIN by fake "recovery agents" demanding upfront fees. Always a scam
- Fake ads & airdrops — Google/social media ads and "free token" offers leading to wallet drainers
- AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated possibly phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
- Use a hardware wallet ([REDACTED], [REDACTED]). Never store large amounts in browser wallets
- Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
- Read every approval — verify permissions before signing. Reject unlimited approvals
- Verify domains — check on THE ENABLERS REGISTRY before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
- "Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
How big is the crypto scam problem?
- $51 billion flowed to illicit crypto wallets in 2024 — CoinLedger
- Pig butchering losses grew 40% year over year, now the fastest-growing fraud type
- Only ~5% of victims report — your report helps shut down criminal networks
- FBI recovered $1B+ in 2024 thanks to victim reports — FBI.gov

If the page below still says “we” or sounds suspiciously confident, that remains the upstream publisher speaking. TER only preserves the record, strips the house branding, and keeps exits wrapped through the source gate.
